Connected To The Vine

Abide

 

If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you. St. John 15:7 KJV

 

If we accept God’s instructions, his way of helping us to live on this earth, God will hear us and answer us. The Ten Commandments are God’s words and should not be looked at as a strict set of rules to be challenged. God’s words are the foundation for living in such a way that causes us to abide with him. The commandments God set for us to live by provide insight into God’s character, and being made in his image these words create the silhouette for our own character.

The Ten Commandments are a part of the God authored handbook known as the Bible. The Bible not only holds the Ten Commandments, but it holds the answers to a number of life’s questions and dilemmas we find ourselves in. Gods words are with power and his handbook will allow us to build an integrity based character and a positive memorable lifestyle, but will more importantly lead the soul into a position for external life.

Christ, the vine has made it possible for our connections to him and God the Father to be solid, but we must acknowledge and accept him as Christ the Savior who died for our sins and rose again. Christ encourages us to be the branches that are connected to the vine, which leads to the Father. Being the fruitful branch allows us the opportunity to live as we should and to petition God for our needs.
